Here's what I found when I removed the Cam sensor.  I cleaned everything
with Simple Green and reinstalled the cap.  I figured it couldn't hurt
to clean up the mess.  We'll see if the car will start tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the help everyone!!

Steve-
  Thanks for offering, but I'm quite happy with my demo.  I just need to
be a little more careful with my clock settings.
